Cariwest Think of Cariwest as a very concentrated Heritage Days, one that focuses exclusively on Caribbean culture. Churchill Square will turn into a Caribbean Village for the run of the festival, which promises music, art, dance and food.

A smaller children’s parade happens at the square on Sunday at 1 p.m.
